This camera (according to manufacturer details) features an "Integrated microphone with RightSound™ technology: Enjoy crystal-clear conversations, free from echo** and annoying background noise."

No, sorry. Webcams usually do not have speakers because virtually 100% of laptops already have speakers. Webcams have microphones, which is what picks up your voice, but not speakers.Frankly, if a laptop is so old/cheap/etc. that it doesn't even have speakers, I would be skeptical if it has enough oomph to use a webcam at all.Assuming this laptop has a headphone jack, your friend could just plug in some cheap earbuds or headphones to hear the sound.

Both the webcam and speakers work fine on Windows 8.1, but for some reason the HDMI input to the speakers works better than the audio input. So if you have a graphics card with an HDMI port, use that instead of the sound port.

Nate...thank you for the post. I had just purchased this webcam and was getting ready to try to cancel the order...so thank you. Oh, do you have any experience with this webcam and Windows Vista and Skype?Thanks again,Charlie

If you look at the comparison graph a little below the product description, you'll find that it does have a built in webcam. The product picture also shows it though it may not be the easiest thing to see. It also has Altec Lansing speakers, which are good speakers and reading a couple of the comments, it's obvious they sound good by themselves.

Yes Aspire Ve-551-8469 certainly has a webcam, and the quality is superb, 1280 x 720. I used it last Friday to create a video at http://gt4.me/teams. I recorded that using the Acer Crystal Eye software that comes with the system, output it from video editor at 854 x 480 for YouTube. I used a separate analog microphone so I don't know microphone quality. I have used Acers for years and buy only them now, great systems!

There is a built-in Web Cam and Mike. Works as well as any of the three I have used.

Yes, it does have a webcam. You cannot use skype but google+ hangouts is far better than skype. I have had this computer for about 3 months and love it. It's just about perfect.

The webcam does have a built-in microphone, but I've never been able to get it to work. I've only tried it once when I first got the computer, but since I never use the webcam or the microphone it wasn't a big deal to me that it didn't work. I will say this is one of the best computers I have ever owned, and I would be happy to purchase it again.

Hello, I just bought the same exact eee pc that your referring to from best buy and mine has the little plastic piece over the webcam and I have not been able to get it to work. I dont think our model has the webcam. They should say that more clearly on the box because it totally appears as though it comes with the webcam. Hope this helped.

"Best?" ? Who knows which webcam is best for your needs? But let me quote a couple of the reviews of this webcam:"....I purchased 4 of these Logitech 961400-0403 Quickcams for use with friends over Skype because of the price, performance and features. The resolution is very good for VOIP,...."".... Once I figured out how to adjust the resolution, it has worked well with SKYPE and...."

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

I suggest buying a 17.3 laptop with even more features just to be on the safe side. I have another 17.3 inch and it works perfectly in this regard for video chat rooms. As I use Skype video calls it work great. Another alternative you can buy a Logitech webcam that has 1080p. This has a great rating and I am purchasing it soon. Well later and Best Regards.

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5
